It was a good thing that Anise immediately assured them that her illness had nothing to do with their moods, but the actual reality of things wasn't much better. As soon as Luke explained what had happened, along with his suspicions, Guy sent a quick glance around them. He didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but if a patient really had been involved, then they would have gone to great lengths to make sure they didn't stand out. After all, leaving a dead body out for everyone to see was a pretty bold move.

Luke's initial guess was probably right, but Guy wasn't surprised when Luke tried to find another explanation. There were other things that would be easier to swallow, but Guy figured that they needed to face the reality of what had happened.

Then again, he had heard some stories... "I've heard people mention ghosts before, but I don't think it's that common," he said with a sigh. "Whatever or whoever it was, it's probably long gone by now." In fact, Guy's guess was that a transformed patient was to blame. That thought made him sick, but it seemed the most likely, especially if the body had been torn apart in the way Luke had described.

"We'll need to keep our guard up, even more than usual. I'm not sure there's anything else we can do." Except for maybe moving the body out of view, but if there really was something dangerous wandering around, the corpse would serve as a good warning. Which was a morbid thought, but Guy was practical when it came down to it.
